Explore Real Kung Fu in China with Monkey Steals Peach

My name is Will and I am a practitioner of Kung Fu. For the past decade I have been travelling Asia seeking out, documenting and researching old styles of martial arts. I want to share my training, travel & martial arts research and experiences with you, in the hope I may be able to dispell some myths, and make it more accessible.

In the age of the internet, there's a lot of hype, clickbait and misleading information. Through my website and Youtube channel, I set out to the complete opposite: to present Chinese martial arts "warts and all", to show how they are practiced, what their revelance is to Chinese history, and what is their place in modern China.
